The Internets: Tonya Harding’s web site is strange

hardingkerrigan.JPGResearching that Favre post naturally led us to the official web site of Tonya Harding, which is, in a word, unsettling. From the bizarre 21-second video to the “messages” portion that is equal parts fascinating, hilarious, sad and perplexing, to the “fantasy” section that should not be read under any circumstances by right-thinking people, this is one of the strangest web experiences we have had in a long time. We invite you to have a look at what the disgraced former figure skater is now up to, if only to know what we’re talking about. Just don’t say you weren’t warned.

*Barry Bonds is gone, and nobody seems to care.

*Might be a real license plate. Might be fake. But it made us laugh.

*Kobe Bryant will be your NBA MVP; we have to take issue with TBL’s assertion that LeBron James is better than Kobe. There’s just no way. Bryant might not be the world’s greatest human being, but he is the world’s greatest hoops player.

*Oh yeah, the Masters. Oh yeah, the Frozen Four. Thanks, Ladies.

Did Stanley Kubrick design her site? I have no idea what the {redacted} i just looked at.

Did you google “sports stars’ fantasies” when you were researching #4 to find this Harding site?

After reading through some of those fantasies I need to go pray.

After reading through some of those fantasies, I need to have Skynet build some Terminators to prevent the creation of the Internet. Really, it’s the right thing to do.

On an unrelated note, I found out you can’t spell out D-bags on ESPN’s site:

I would weep with joy if the Twins signed Barry Bonds. Sorry guys, it’s true.

Speaking of Kobe, I know you’re all huge (though closeted) American Idol fans. I’m quite sure Rand Tivoed Idol Gives Back while at the game last night, so I don’t want to play spoiler, but what was that thing on Kobe Bryant’s face? I kept waiting for the punchline, but there was none. It was also quite clear that if Eli Manning follows in his brother’s footsteps to saturate the TV ad market, they’d best be non-speaking parts. Wow.

My allergic reaction to Ryan Seacrest prevents me from watching American Idol.

I will argue until my dying day that “Since U Been Gone” is a fantastic song, though.

Stu, the mental image of you, old & toothless with coke-bottle glasses, on your deathbed arguing to no one in particular the sonic merits of Kelly Clarkson … well, that, sir, is pure delight.

Good idea. I really think that some of us here would gain at lest 10 IQ points if we didn’t have to read a certain persons coments (*clearsthroatP3clearsthroatagain*) Just think of the work I would get done…well…at work using my typewriter, phone, and fax machine if I didn’t have to look at things like “The Internets”, “Randbites”, “Wha’ Happened” and yes, even “Stu’s Huntdown”…

*Rotary Phone

Rotary phones rock. My parents still have one in harvest gold. I think they finally got rid of the party line a few years back, though. There’s nothing like having the neighbor listen in on your phone calls.

Party line? Is that the thing they have commercials for late at night? Of all the times I’ve called I never once reached AZGopherMom.

LeBron James is .5% better than Kobe Bryant. Kobe plays Defense better and shoots slightly better, other than that LeBron is better at everything else. If you could choose one of those two in their prime to start a franchise why would you not choose LBJ?
